No stories to tell

Verse 1

Same couch, same screen, same old night

Same folks complainin’ but won’t change life

They say “one day” like it’s guaranteed

But tomorrow don’t wait on fear or dreams

I’ve slept in trucks, chased sunrise light

Missed a little work just to feel alive

Got dirt on my jeans, gas on my hands

Worth more than a perfect plan

⸻

Chorus

If you don’t go nowhere, you won’t know nothin’

If you don’t take risks, you won’t feel somethin’

Memories don’t grow where you play it safe

They’re born in the miles and the wrong turn days

Yeah, life ain’t found in a straight-line trail

If you never leave, you got no tales

You can stay right still, let the years slip by

Or live a little and have stories to tell

⸻

Verse 2

I’ve been lost in towns I can’t pronounce

Found good people I still think about

Some nights cold, some days hot

Some lessons cost, some lessons taught

They ask why I’m always gone

Why I don’t stay where I’m from

I say “I love it, but I love movin’ too”

You don’t grow roots if you never move

⸻

Chorus

If you don’t go nowhere, you won’t know nothin’

If you don’t take risks, you won’t feel somethin’

Memories don’t grow where you play it safe

They’re born in the miles and the wrong turn days

Yeah, life ain’t found in a straight-line trail

If you never leave, you got no tales

You can stay right still, let the years slip by

Or live a little and have stories to tell

⸻

Bridge (Half-spoken, reflective)

Every scar got a chapter

Every road got a name

You don’t remember the comfort

You remember the flames

⸻

Verse 3 (Short, punchy)

I ain’t rich, but I feel full

Got more stories than a bank account could

I don’t need proof, don’t need praise

Just another memory I can take to the grave

⸻

Final Chorus

If you don’t go nowhere, you won’t know nothin’

If you don’t get lost, you won’t find somethin’

The best days hide where plans derail

In busted boots and late-night tales

Yeah, time don’t stop, it don’t wait

It don’t care ‘bout comfort or hesitate

You can play it safe, let the years slip by

Or live a little and have stories to tell

⸻

Outro

One day this road runs out…

Make sure it was worth talkin’ about
